First Sip with Shari Starkey: Creating Teams That Thrive & Not Just Survive 💪

Grab a glass and join us as we sit down with Shari Starkey, Senior Vice President of Claims at CorVel and founder of Starkey Leadership, for a conversation that goes way beyond just claims handling and KPIs. We talk about what leadership actually looks like when the spreadsheets are put away, the emails stop dinging (for five minutes), and you're trying to lead real humans through stress, change, growth, and the occasional workplace chaos. Shari shares her journey from adjuster to executive leadership, her passion for NeuroLeadership, and why understanding how the brain works can completely change the way we communicate, coach, and build stronger teams. We dive into burnout, psychological safety, leadership mistakes, developing future leaders, and creating environments where people can do their best work without sacrificing themselves in the process. Whether you're managing a claims team, leading a case management program, growing your career, or simply trying to become a better leader in workers' comp, this episode is packed with honest insights, real-world lessons, and plenty of "wow, I've never thought about it that way" moments. Pour yourself a glass and join us for a conversation about leadership, resilience, growth, and remembering that behind every claim, every case, and every metric is a human being. 🍷 About Shari Starkey Shari Starkey is the Senior Vice President of Claims, Western Region at CorVel, where she focuses on claims excellence, operational strategy, leadership development, and building high-performing teams.
